The 90% Secret: Asset Allocation's Power
Many tech professionals and business owners pride themselves on data-driven decisions. Yet, when it comes to investments, a common mistake is believing individual stock picking holds the key to long-term wealth. This focus on the micro often leads to chasing trends and missing the fundamental drivers of portfolio success.
That's what most people believe. But here's what decades of research confirms: your asset allocation is responsible for over 90% of your portfolio’s return variability.

This insight provides systematic value and actionable wisdom, strengthening your financial foundation.
